Milturn Precision Strengthens Integrated Manufacturing Support for Valve Industry

Published: 8th August 2025 | Issue 100 Share article:

Milturn Precision continues to support valve manufacturers with fully integrated machining and finishing services, delivered from its ISO 9001- certified sites in Woking and Swadlincote. 

In valve manufacturing, precision and consistent metal finishing are essential. Even a small defect can affect performance, safety, and service life. To avoid costly failures, you need repeatable processes that meet exact specifications. 

Milturn delivers machining and finishing solutions for demanding applications, including valve components. With ISO 9001 certification and in-house control of every stage, the company helps reduce delays, rework, and cost - without compromising quality. 

In one recent project for the ultra-high vacuum sector, Milturn produced 35 complex components for a prototype. Early collaboration with the client’s design team allowed Design for Manufacture principles to be applied, streamlining production and delivering the parts ahead of schedule. 

Another project for a defence customer involved urgent redesign of a communications housing. Milturn managed everything in-house, design revisions, CNC machining, anodising, and assembly, helping the client meet tight deadlines and secure additional contracts. 

Valve manufacturers face similar challenges, from achieving tight tolerances and pressure-rated assemblies to applying functional coatings and meeting strict delivery schedules. Managing multiple suppliers adds risk and delay. Milturn’s in-house approach avoids this by offering end-to-end manufacturing from a single source. 

While stainless steel and brass components often require minimal finishing, aluminium valve parts typically benefit from treatments such as sulphuric or hard anodising. Milturn offers a full range of finishing services suited to valve applications, including anodising, spray painting, vapour blasting, and laser marking.

Using advanced CNC equipment and experienced technicians, Milturn produces accurate, consistent components while keeping waste and rework to a minimum. Careful scheduling means your parts are delivered quickly, whether it’s a one-off prototype or a full production run.

“We focus on practical, cost-effective solutions that meet both the functional and visual needs of your components,” says Steve Mead, Group Operations Director. “Ongoing investment in technology means we deliver consistent quality, fast.” 

If you need machining and finishing that’s right first time, Milturn is ready to support your next project.
